Shuji Nakamura, (born May 22, 1954, Ehime, Japan), Japanese-born American materials scientist who was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing blue light-emitting diodes . He shared the prize with Japanese materials scientists Akasaki Isamu and Amano Hiroshi.

Professor Nakamura joined the UC Santa Barbara faculty in 2000 and was appointed to the CREE Chair in Materials. He is also research director for UCSB’s Solid State Lighting & Energy Electronics Center. Known for his technological achievements with semiconducting gallium nitrides, he is widely recognized as the world pioneer in light emitters ...

Shuji Nakamura Biographical . S huji Nakamura was born on May 22, 1954 in Oku, a tiny fishing village on the Pacific coast of Shikoku, the smallest of Japan’s four main islands. Farming is the principle occupation in Oku. Local farmers grow yams on steps cut into steep hillsides. Shuji’s maternal grandparents owned such a farm.

Shuji Nakamura was asleep in California when he got the call that he had been awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics together with Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano. But now there’s “No time for sleep. No time for rest.”. Hear how he reacted when he got the call from Stockholm.

Computing and Telecommunications. Shuji Nakamura was born on May 22, 1954 in Ikata, Ehime, Japan. He completed a degree in electronic engineering at the University of Tokushima in 1977, followed by a master’s degree in 1979. More than a decade of research led to his 1993 development of the blue light-emitting diode, or LED, which has enabled ...
